Keith Richards Acrylic Painting

Here is my first painting of the year I went back to using acrylics for this one and they have really worked well for this painting and I have enjoyed the different process that comes with working with acrylics its a change from oils and it brings different possibilities. I have been reading Keith Richards autobiography while doing this painting as well as having the rolling stone recent greatest hits on repeat for the whole duration of the painting so its been a really enjoyable process.

Vincent Kompany & Eddie Jordan

Here are two commissions I did just before Christmas, I am really happy how they turned out and I am enjoying the endless possibilities of working with color. These are the types of commissions I love to do when the client gives me someone to paint from the sports world or the world of music.

'Metallica Live' 76x61cm Acrylic painting

Here is latest painting of Metallica front man James Hetfield. Once again I have used acrylics for this piece I am really enjoying them at the moment and doing alot of experimenting.

I tried to layer this painting alot which gives a pretty cool effect and acrylics are perfect for it. Also I continue to bring more and more color into my work and keep learning.

Color adds a whole new dimension to the painting process which I am really enjoying.
